[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a galaxy watch4, and it was getting old and started to slow down when switching apps, etc. New watch8 doesnt have any of those issues, and it is quick and snappy.
Galaxy Al is interesting, some things like the typing experience is better with it. Galaxy AI helps me send texts quickly which is very helpful too.

Nice Upgrade
on September 23, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded in my galaxy watch4 for this watch so it's a significant upgrade in terms of look and functionality.
Negative: I'm not using the AI features, as I think our irresponsible use of AI is dangerous for the environment and will continue to be without regulation. I hope this company is mindful of it's environmental impact.
Positives: The speed of the OS is a welcome change. The lighter weight of the product is also a game changer. Working out with it is fun and I'm not afraid of it weighing me down. It's also able to be dressed up when I wear it somewhere fancy. Very happy with the change in design overall, as the squicle is very pleasing for me. I was getting tired of the regular circle watch face design so I never bothered to upgrade before this one. The watch is a perfect companion to my galaxy tab s8+ and galaxy s24+.
I really love this device. My last one was bulky and I could not sleep with it on. This one is slimline and it is very easy to sleep in.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Watch I've Ever Had
on September 25, 2025
Posted by: TexasLovesSamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing the Galaxy Watch 8 for a few weeks now, and my favorite thing about it is the comfort—it's noticeably thinner and lighter than my old watch. It sits so flat on my wrist that I genuinely forget I'm wearing it, which is huge for sleep tracking.
The display is beautiful. Samsung always nails the screen, and this one is so bright I can finally read my notifications perfectly even in Texas summer sun.
The addition of the Galaxy AI is also a major win. Asking it to set a timer, or even a more complex query, feels instantly responsive and far more useful than the old voice assistant.
Functions are awesome, but the design is a step back from previous editions imo. The large frame behind the main screen that's now added, takes the aesthetics and simplicity. Functions are awesome. Especially liking the new antioxidant index, vascular load etc. Can't wait to see how this tech evolve and what new features get added in future.
